It’d be tempting to assume Andrei Maria’s musical output invariably reflects the sunny disposition of his performing moniker. But that belies the multifaceted nature of his work. Hailing from Pitești, the Romanian singer-songwriter has made his name with a brand of often breezy dance-pop that routinely packs an emotional punch. “De Unde Vii La Ora Asta?”, which details a messy break-up over a pulsating synth line, is a case in point—as is the heart-rending “Confesiune”. Meanwhile, the gentle R&B of “Dincolo de cuvinte”, a collab with Alex Velea, candidly discusses his mental health.
